by If you believe in angels and that you have a guardian angel who will always have your back, then an arc angel tattoo is perfect for you!
In the Bible, there is only one arcangel, Michael, who is the most respected and chief of all angels.
The word arcangel is combined of two words, “arc” that means big and “angel” that means messenger. An arc angel tattoo has a significant meaning and can be defined as a guardian, warrior or even a defender against all evil.
Nobody knows what the arcangel looks like, so the drawings that depict the angel are magnificent and incredibly pleasing to the eye. Most tattoos of the arc angel are shown as fighting with a sword which could mean that instead of protecting the person, they are battling with evil to keep them safe. An arc angel could be linked to a powerful person or a believer of angels and their struggle to keep their loved ones safe. The tattoos of the arc angel usually take up a lot of space because they need enough area to show the wings and the swords and sometimes, even fighting the devil, that is why they are usually made on the person’s sleeve or back. Below is a list of carefully curated 10 most beautiful arc angel tattoo options just for you!

This is a beautiful piece of art that shows St. Michael, the archangel in it’s purest form. The angel has his wings spread, a sword in his hand and eyes closed. The drawing is so precise that you can see every crease on the robe and every other detail. The tattoo has a shading of grey that adds to the charm. It is similar to one of the painting of St. Michael that you see in the church. This tattoo is placed on the back, right below the nape of the neck, that gives the tattoo artist enough space to spread the wings. This tattoo signifies that the angel is there to protect you from all evil.
